"Drosophila suzukii has evolved a novel preference for laying its eggs in a wide variety of ripe fruits (for instance, strawberries, raspberries, cherries…), in contrast to most other Drosophila species, such as D. melanogaster, which prefer to lay eggs on fermented and rotten fruits. This novel behavior is causing significant damage to the fruit industry as D. suzukii spreads around the world"
